- the airbag door structure is composed of a base material such as an instrument panel having a skin member arranged on a front side and a plate-shaped door member arranged on a back side of the base material.
- the base material has a tear portion formed on the back surface.
- the shape of this tear portion is, for example, a double Y type or an H type.
- the tear portion has a central tear line and four side tear lines.
- the central tear line extends so as to partition a first door portion and a second door portion of the rectangular door member.

- the tear portion has a central tear line and two side tear lines.
- the central tear line extends so as to partition the first door portion and the second door portion of the rectangular door member.
- the side tear line is in contact with an end of the central tear line and extends in a direction orthogonal to the central tear line.
- the skin member arranged on the front side of the base material needs to be broken in two directions.
- the skin member needs to be broken in two directions, it becomes difficult to deal with a skin member made of a material that is easily cut in one direction but hard to be cut in the other direction, and it is difficult to adopt the skin member as the skin of the base material.

- the door member 20 has a rib 25 .
- the rib 25 is a portion which reinforces the frame portion 21 to improve the pressure resistance when the airbag is deployed and limits the pressing position on the door member 20 pressed by the deployed airbag.
- the rib 25 is integrated with the frame portion 21 .
- the rib 25 is connected to the inner surface of the tubular portion of the frame portion 21 .
- the rib 25 is formed on the inner side of the frame than the frame portion 21 and on the outer side of the frame than the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 .
- the rib 25 extends linearly from the frame portion 21 to the tear portion 12 and also extends linearly along the direction in which the tubular portion of the frame portion 21 extends.
- the rib 25 is formed in a plate shape.
- a plurality of ribs 25 are provided. Each rib 25 extends in parallel to the predetermined dividing line L from the frame portion 21 to the tear portion 12 and the end portion on the tear portion 12 side is formed so as to be located close to the tear portion 12 .

- the short rib 25 b extends from the frame portion 21 to the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 so as to connect them.
- the extension length between the frame portion 21 and the tear portion 12 in the short rib 25 b is shorter than the extension length between the frame portion 21 and the tear portion 12 in the long rib 25 a . Further, the extension length between the frame portion 21 and the tear portion 12 in the short rib 25 b is as short as the short rib 25 b close to the predetermined dividing line L.
- the airbag when the airbag is deployed in the frame portion 21 of the door member 20 , the airbag advances in the frame portion 21 along the frame inner surface of the frame portion 21 and the tip of the rib 25 and presses the first door portion 22 and the second door portion 23 toward the passenger compartment side.
- the first door portion 22 and the second door portion 23 are respectively deformed so as to pivot around the sides connected to the frame portion 21 , and the door member 20 is split along the predetermined dividing line L.
- the base material 10 When the door member 20 is split along the predetermined dividing line L, the base material 10 is integrated with the skin member 30 and pressed from the door member 20 toward the passenger compartment side. When this pressing occurs, the base material 10 is bent along the frame alongside portion 12 a and the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 and is broken so as to be divided into two parts along the dividing line portion 12 b of the tear portion 12 . In this case, the skin member 30 breaks in the same manner as the base material 10 (see FIGS. 5 and 6 ).
- the base material 10 has a pair of protruding portions 12 c which respectively protrude in the frame outside direction from the frame alongside portion 12 a and the dividing line portion 12 b which connects the vertices of the protruding portions 12 c .
- the length of the dividing line portion 12 b in which the base material 10 is broken is longer than the length along the long sides 22 a and 23 a of the frame alongside portion 12 a in which the base material 10 is bent. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG.
- the above-described splitting of the door member 20 and breakage along the dividing line portion 12 b of the base material 10 are performed so that the opening shape is an elliptical shape (that is, a fish mouth type) that is larger toward the center of the dividing line portion 12 b and smaller toward the end of the dividing line portion 12 b.
- the airbag is inflated into the passenger compartment through the openings of the splitting portions of the door member 20 or the breakage portions of the base material 10 and the skin member 30 .
- the vehicle occupant is protected by the inflated airbag.
- the splitting of the door member 20 and the breakage of the base material 10 along the dividing line portion 12 b are performed so that an elliptical (for example, fish mouth-type) opening is formed.
- an elliptical opening is formed.
- the base material 10 is prevented from being broken along the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the dividing line portion 12 b , and thus the skin member 30 is prevented from being broken along a direction different from the direction along the predetermined dividing line L.
- the door member 20 is split between the first door portion 22 and the second door portion 23 so that the skin member 30 is broken in one direction along the predetermined dividing line L, and thus the base material 10 can be broken along the straight dividing line portion 12 b . Therefore, in the airbag door structure 1 , it is sufficient to use a material, which can be broken in at least one direction, as the material of the skin member 30 that covers the front side of the base material 10 , and thus the material used as the skin member 30 can be expanded to a wide range.
- the rib 25 is formed on the inner side of the frame than the frame portion 21 of the door member 20 and on the outer side of the frame than the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 . According to this rib 25 , it is possible to limit the pressing position of the door member 20 pressed by the deployed airbag mainly to the area on the inner side of the frame of the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 . Therefore, the bending and breaking of the base material 10 when the airbag is deployed can be concentrated at the position along the tear portion 12 , and thus the bending and breaking of the base material 10 can be easily controlled to a desired state.
- the rib 25 described above is integrated with the frame portion 21 and extends linearly from the frame portion 21 to the tear portion 12 . Therefore, it is possible to easily realize the form of the rib 25 for reinforcing the frame portion 21 and limiting the pressing position of the door member 20 pressed by the airbag.
- the rib 25 includes the long rib 25 a extending from the frame portion 21 to a portion parallel to the short sides 22 c , 22 d , 23 c , and 23 d in the frame alongside portion 12 a of the tear portion 12 and the short rib 25 b extending from the frame portion 21 to the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 .
- the line connecting the tips of the ribs 25 is along the frame alongside portion 12 a and the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 . Therefore, the base material 10 can be easily bent and broken along the tear portion 12 including the protruding portion 12 c.
- the rib 25 extends parallel to the predetermined dividing line L from the frame portion 21 to the tear portion 12 .
- the frame portion 21 of the door member 20 is formed in a quadrangular tube shape, and the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 is not formed on the back surface of the substrate body portion 11 in a quadrangular shape that simply matches the shape of the frame portion 21 of the door member 20 but is formed in a shape having the protruding portion 12 c protruding from the frame alongside portion 12 a in the frame outside direction.
- the present invention is not limited thereto and the airbag door structure may be a structure 100 as illustrated in FIG. 7 .
- the shape of the frame portion 21 of the door member 20 may be a tubular shape that matches the shapes of the frame alongside portion 12 a and the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 .
- the frame portion 21 is formed in a tubular shape along the frame alongside portion 12 a and the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 and the sides of the short sides 22 c and 22 d side of the first door portion 22 and the sides of the short sides 23 c and 23 d of the second door portion 23 are formed in a shape including corners so as to be along the inner surface the tubular portion of the frame portion 21 , that is, to be along the frame alongside portion 12 a and the protruding portion 12 c of the tear portion 12 of the base material 10 .

- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from prior Japanese patent application No. 2019-188987 filed on Oct. 15, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to an airbag door structure.
- In the related art, an airbag door structure mounted on a vehicle or the like is known (for example, JP-A-2003-112595. JP-A-2017-202700, and JP-A-2011-245926). The airbag door structure is composed of a base material such as an instrument panel having a skin member arranged on a front side and a plate-shaped door member arranged on a back side of the base material. The base material has a tear portion formed on the back surface. The shape of this tear portion is, for example, a double Y type or an H type.
- As described in JP-A-2003-112595 and JP-A-2017-202700, in the double Y type, the tear portion has a central tear line and four side tear lines. The central tear line extends so as to partition a first door portion and a second door portion of the rectangular door member. The four side tear lines include a side tear line extending from one end of the central tear line to a corner portion of the first door portion, a side tear line extending from one end of the central tear line to a corner portion of the second door portion, a side tear line extending from the other end of the central tear line to the corner portion of the first door portion, and a side tear line extending from the other end of the central tear line to the corner portion of the second door portion,
- Further, as described in JP-A-2011-245926, in the H tvpe, the tear portion has a central tear line and two side tear lines. The central tear line extends so as to partition the first door portion and the second door portion of the rectangular door member. The side tear line is in contact with an end of the central tear line and extends in a direction orthogonal to the central tear line.
- Assuming that the shape of the tear portion is the double Y type or the H type as described above, when the door member is split between the first door portion and the second door portion due to the deployment of the airbag, the skin member arranged on the front side of the base material needs to be broken in two directions. However, when the skin member needs to be broken in two directions, it becomes difficult to deal with a skin member made of a material that is easily cut in one direction but hard to be cut in the other direction, and it is difficult to adopt the skin member as the skin of the base material.
- The present invention is made in view of such points and an object thereof is to provide an airbag door structure capable of breaking a base material by splitting an airbag door so as to break a skin member in one direction when an airbag is deployed.
- According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided an airbag door structure including: a base material having a skin member disposed on a front side; and a door member disposed on a back side of the base material, where: the door member has a frame portion formed in a tubular shape and a first door portion and a second door portion which are respectively connected to one side of the frame portion and are partitioned while interposing a predetermined dividing line to be split when an airbag is deployed; the base material has a tear portion formed on an inner side of a frame than the frame portion of the door member in a back surface of the base material; and the tear portion has a frame alongside portion formed along the frame portion of the door member, a dividing line portion formed along the predetermined dividing line, and a pair of protruding portions protruding toward the frame outside direction from the frame alongside portion and formed so that both skirt ends are connected to the frame alongside portion and vertices are connected to ends of the dividing line portion.
- According to the aspect, when the airbag is deployed, the splitting of the door member and the breakage along the dividing line portion of the base material are performed so that an elliptical opening is formed. In this case, the base material is prevented from being broken along a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the dividing line portion and the skin member is prevented from being broken along a direction different from the direction along the predetermined dividing line. That is, when the airbag is deployed, the door member is split between the first door portion and the second door portion so that the skin member is broken in one direction along the predetermined dividing line, and thus the base material can be broken along the dividing line portion.
- The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawing which is given by way of illustration only, and thus is not limitative of the present invention and wherein:

FIGS. 1 to 7 . - An
airbag door structure 1 of the embodiment is, for example, a structure of a door which splits when an airbag mounted on a vehicle is deployed. Theairbag door structure 1 is applied to, for example, a door which is disposed in front of a passenger seat of a vehicle and which splits when protecting an occupant seated in the passenger seat. Theairbag door structure 1 may be applied to a door disposed in front of a driver's seat of the vehicle. - The
airbag door structure 1 includes abase material 10, adoor member 20, and askin member 30, as illustrated inFIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4 . Thebase material 10 is, for example, an instrument panel and is a member formed so that the entire surface is exposed in a passenger compartment. Thebase material 10 is formed by injecting a resin material, for example. Thebase material 10 has asubstrate body portion 11 formed in a plate shape. - The
door member 20 is a door which splits when the airbag is deployed. Thedoor member 20 is formed in a quadrangular shape (specifically, a rectangular shape). Thedoor member 20 is formed by injecting a resin material, for example. Thedoor member 20 is disposed on a back side of thebase material 10. Thedoor member 20 is attached and fixed to thebase material 10. Thedoor member 20 is formed in a plate shape as a whole. Thedoor member 20 has aframe portion 21. Theframe portion 21 is formed in a tubular shape (specifically, a quadrangular tube shape). Theframe portion 21 forms an accommodation space for accommodating the airbag device. - The
door member 20 has afirst door portion 22 and asecond door portion 23. Thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 are arranged inside the frame of theframe portion 21. Each of thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 is connected to one side of theframe portion 21. One side of theframe part 21 to which thefirst door portion 22 is connected and one side of theframe part 21 to which thesecond door portion 23 is connected are a pair of sides facing each other and extending in parallel. Thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 are partitioned while interposing a predetermined dividing line L to be split when the airbag is deployed. That is, thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 face each other with the predetermined dividing line L interposed therebetween. The predetermined dividing line L is a line formed in a straight line. - The
first door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 are each formed in a quadrangular shape (specifically, a rectangular shape). Thefirst door portion 22 has twolong sides short sides corner portions long sides short sides second door portion 23 has twolong sides short sides corner portions 23 e. 23 f, 23 g, and 23 h where thelong sides short sides - The
long side 22 b of thefirst door portion 22 close to thesecond door portion 23 and thelong side 23 a of thesecond door portion 23 close to thefirst door portion 22 are in contact with each other or face each other in a state of being separated from each other with a gap therebetween, and extend parallel to each other. The predetermined dividing line L described above extends linearly along thelong side 22 b and thelong side 23 a. In the following, it is assumed that there is a gap S between thelong side 22 b and thelong side 23 a. - The
first door portion 22 is formed so that thelong side 22 a is connected to one side of theframe portion 21 while thelong side 22 b and theshort sides frame portion 21 and the like. Thefirst door portion 22 is pivotable around thelong side 22 a. Thesecond door portion 23 is formed so that thelong side 23 b is connected to one side of theframe portion 21 while thelong side 23 a and theshort side frame portion 21 and the like. Thesecond door portion 23 is pivotable around thelong side 23 b. - An airbag device (not illustrated) is disposed on the back side of the
door member 20. The airbag device is accommodated in the space within theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20. The airbag device deploys the airbag in theframe portion 21 when a vehicle collides, for example. The airbag deployed in theframe portion 21 presses thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 of thedoor member 20 toward the passenger compartment side to split them, breaks thebase material 10 along adividing line portion 12 b of atear portion 12 which will be described below, and is inflated from the opening into the passenger compartment. - The
door member 20 also has aflange portion 24. Theflange portion 24 is disposed outside the frame of theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20. Theflange portion 24 extends from the outer edge of theframe portion 21 so as to protrude toward the outside of the frame. Theflange portion 24 is flush with thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23. Theframe portion 21 described above extends from the back surfaces of thefirst door portion 22, thesecond door portion 23, and theflange portion 24 in a direction orthogonal to the back surface. - The
skin member 30 is a member which covers the surface of thebase material 10. Theskin member 30 is disposed on the front side of thebase material 10. Theskin member 30 is formed of a material which is cut in at least one direction, and for example, fabric or the like is used. - The
base material 10 has thetear portion 12. Thetear portion 12 is a portion for breaking or bending thebase material 10 due to the pressure of the deployed airbag when the airbag is deployed. Thetear portion 12 is formed on the back surface of thesubstrate body portion 11 so that the cross-sectional shape is a recessed groove shape or a V groove shape. Thetear portion 12 is formed on an inner side of the frame than theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20. Thetear portion 12 is formed in a linear shape. Thetear portion 12 has a frame alongsideportion 12 a, thedividing line portion 12 b, and a protrudingportion 12 c. - The frame alongside
portion 12 a is a portion formed along theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20. The frame alongsideportion 12 a includes a firstdoor corresponding portion 12 a-1 corresponding to thefirst door portion 22 and a seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 corresponding to thesecond door portion 23. On the back surface of thesubstrate body portion 11, the firstdoor corresponding portion 12 a-1 extends in parallel along thelong side 22 a of thefirst door portion 22 opposite to thesecond door portion 23. Further, the firstdoor corresponding portion 12 a-1 is formed in a U shape so as to extend in parallel along a part of each of the twoshort sides substrate body portion 11, the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 extends in parallel along thelong side 23 b of thesecond door portion 23 opposite to thefirst door portion 22. Further, the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 is formed in a U shape so as to extend in parallel along a part of each of the twoshort sides - The frame alongside
portion 12 a is provided so as to be relatively close to thelong sides short sides portion 12 a is formed so that the distance to thelong sides short sides - The
dividing line portion 12 b is a portion formed along the predetermined dividing line L. Thedividing line portion 12 b extends linearly along thelong side 22 b of thefirst door portion 22 and thelong side 23 a of thesecond door portion 23. Thedividing line portion 12 b is formed so that one end is located close to thecorner portion 22 f where thelong side 22 b and theshort side 22 c of thefirst door portion 22 intersect or thecorner portion 23 e where thelong side 23 a and theshort side 23 c of thesecond door portion 23 intersect and the other end is located close to thecorner portion 22 g where thelong side 22 b and theshort side 22 d of thefirst door portion 22 intersect or thecorner portion 23 h where thelong side 23 a and theshort side 23 d of thesecond door portion 23 intersect. Thedividing line portion 12 b is formed so that the length thereof is longer than the length along thelong sides portion 12 a. - The protruding
portion 12 c is a portion protruding toward the frame outside direction closer to theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20 than the frame alongsideportion 12 a. The protruding shape of the protrudingportion 12 c may be a triangular shape with angular vertices or a mountain shape such as a semicircular shape with smooth vertices. The protrudingportions 12 c are respectively provided on the side of theshort sides short sides door member 20. Each protrudingportion 12 c is connected to the frame alongsideportion 12 a. - Specifically, the protruding
portion 12 c on the side of theshort sides FIG. 1 ) is interposed between one end of the firstdoor corresponding portion 12 a-1 and one end of the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 of the frame alongsideportion 12 a. In addition, the protrudingportion 12 c on the side of theshort sides FIG. 1 ) is interposed between the other end of the firstdoor corresponding portion 12 a-1 and the other end of the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 of the frame alongsideportion 12 a. The pair of protrudingportion 12 c and frame alongsideportion 12 a form an annular shape as a whole. - The protruding
portion 12 c on the side of theshort sides FIG. 1 ) on the side ofshort sides portion 12 a parallel to theshort sides door corresponding portion 12 a-1 and the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2. The protrudingportion 12 c on the side of theshort sides door corresponding portion 12 a-1 and one end of the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 and the vertex is connected to one end (left end inFIG. 1 ) of thedividing line portion 12 b. - The protruding
portion 12 c on the side of theshort sides FIG. 1 ) on the side of theshort sides portion 12 a parallel to theshort sides door corresponding portion 12 a-1 and the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2. The protrudingportion 12 c on the side of theshort sides door corresponding portion 12 a-1 and the other end of the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 and the vertex is connected to the other end (right end inFIG. 1 ) of thedividing line portion 12 b. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , a distance W between the skirt ends on both sides of the protrudingportion 12 c is preferably set to, for example, 10% to 100% of a distance D between the side parallel to thelong sides door corresponding portion 12 a-1 of the frame alongsideportion 12 a and the side parallel to thelong sides door corresponding portion 12 a-2 of the frame alongsideportion 12 a. Further, a height H from the skirt end to the vertex of the protrudingportion 12 c is preferably set to, for example, 30% to 150% of the distance W between the skirt ends on both sides thereof. Further, an angle θ of a line connecting the skirt end and the vertex of the protrudingportion 12 c is preferably set to, for example, 20° to 70° with respect to the side parallel to theshort sides portion 12 a. - The pair of protruding
portions 12 c are formed so that the respective vertices overlap the predetermined dividing line L and the two vertices are located at two different points on the predetermined dividing line L. A distance between the vertices of the pair of protrudingportions 12 c matches the length of thedividing line portion 12 b and is longer than the length along thelong sides portion 12 a. - The
door member 20 has arib 25. Therib 25 is a portion which reinforces theframe portion 21 to improve the pressure resistance when the airbag is deployed and limits the pressing position on thedoor member 20 pressed by the deployed airbag. Therib 25 is integrated with theframe portion 21. Therib 25 is connected to the inner surface of the tubular portion of theframe portion 21. Therib 25 is formed on the inner side of the frame than theframe portion 21 and on the outer side of the frame than thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10. Therib 25 extends linearly from theframe portion 21 to thetear portion 12 and also extends linearly along the direction in which the tubular portion of theframe portion 21 extends. Therib 25 is formed in a plate shape. - A plurality of
ribs 25 are provided. Eachrib 25 extends in parallel to the predetermined dividing line L from theframe portion 21 to thetear portion 12 and the end portion on thetear portion 12 side is formed so as to be located close to thetear portion 12. Therib 25 includes along rib 25 a and ashort rib 25 b. Thelong rib 25 a extends from theframe portion 21 to portions parallel to theshort sides door corresponding portion 12 a-1 and the seconddoor corresponding portion 12 a-2 of the frame alongsideportion 12 a of thetear portion 12 so as to connect them. Theshort rib 25 b extends from theframe portion 21 to the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12 so as to connect them. - The extension length between the
frame portion 21 and thetear portion 12 in theshort rib 25 b is shorter than the extension length between theframe portion 21 and thetear portion 12 in thelong rib 25 a. Further, the extension length between theframe portion 21 and thetear portion 12 in theshort rib 25 b is as short as theshort rib 25 b close to the predetermined dividing line L. - In the
airbag door structure 1 described above, when the airbag is deployed in theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20, the airbag advances in theframe portion 21 along the frame inner surface of theframe portion 21 and the tip of therib 25 and presses thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 toward the passenger compartment side. When this pressing occurs, thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 are respectively deformed so as to pivot around the sides connected to theframe portion 21, and thedoor member 20 is split along the predetermined dividing line L. - When the
door member 20 is split along the predetermined dividing line L, thebase material 10 is integrated with theskin member 30 and pressed from thedoor member 20 toward the passenger compartment side. When this pressing occurs, thebase material 10 is bent along the frame alongsideportion 12 a and the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12 and is broken so as to be divided into two parts along thedividing line portion 12 b of thetear portion 12. In this case, theskin member 30 breaks in the same manner as the base material 10 (seeFIGS. 5 and 6 ). - When the airbag presses the
first door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23, a larger pressing force acts toward the center of thedoor member 20. In addition, thebase material 10 has a pair of protrudingportions 12 c which respectively protrude in the frame outside direction from the frame alongsideportion 12 a and thedividing line portion 12 b which connects the vertices of the protrudingportions 12 c. The length of thedividing line portion 12 b in which thebase material 10 is broken is longer than the length along thelong sides portion 12 a in which thebase material 10 is bent. Therefore, as illustrated inFIG. 5 , the above-described splitting of thedoor member 20 and breakage along thedividing line portion 12 b of thebase material 10 are performed so that the opening shape is an elliptical shape (that is, a fish mouth type) that is larger toward the center of thedividing line portion 12 b and smaller toward the end of thedividing line portion 12 b. - Then, when the above-mentioned splitting of the
door member 20 and breakage along thedividing line portion 12 b of thebase material 10 occur, the airbag is inflated into the passenger compartment through the openings of the splitting portions of thedoor member 20 or the breakage portions of thebase material 10 and theskin member 30. As a result, the vehicle occupant is protected by the inflated airbag. - In this way, in the
airbag door structure 1, when the airbag is deployed, the splitting of thedoor member 20 and the breakage of thebase material 10 along thedividing line portion 12 b are performed so that an elliptical (for example, fish mouth-type) opening is formed. When such splitting or breakage occurs, thebase material 10 is prevented from being broken along the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of thedividing line portion 12 b, and thus theskin member 30 is prevented from being broken along a direction different from the direction along the predetermined dividing line L. - That is, when the airbag is deployed, the
door member 20 is split between thefirst door portion 22 and thesecond door portion 23 so that theskin member 30 is broken in one direction along the predetermined dividing line L, and thus thebase material 10 can be broken along the straightdividing line portion 12 b. Therefore, in theairbag door structure 1, it is sufficient to use a material, which can be broken in at least one direction, as the material of theskin member 30 that covers the front side of thebase material 10, and thus the material used as theskin member 30 can be expanded to a wide range. - In the
airbag door structure 1 described above, therib 25 is formed on the inner side of the frame than theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20 and on the outer side of the frame than thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10. According to thisrib 25, it is possible to limit the pressing position of thedoor member 20 pressed by the deployed airbag mainly to the area on the inner side of the frame of thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10. Therefore, the bending and breaking of thebase material 10 when the airbag is deployed can be concentrated at the position along thetear portion 12, and thus the bending and breaking of thebase material 10 can be easily controlled to a desired state. - In particular, the
rib 25 described above is integrated with theframe portion 21 and extends linearly from theframe portion 21 to thetear portion 12. Therefore, it is possible to easily realize the form of therib 25 for reinforcing theframe portion 21 and limiting the pressing position of thedoor member 20 pressed by the airbag. - In addition, the
rib 25 includes thelong rib 25 a extending from theframe portion 21 to a portion parallel to theshort sides portion 12 a of thetear portion 12 and theshort rib 25 b extending from theframe portion 21 to the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12. In this configuration, the line connecting the tips of theribs 25 is along the frame alongsideportion 12 a and the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12. Therefore, thebase material 10 can be easily bent and broken along thetear portion 12 including the protrudingportion 12 c. - Further, the
rib 25 extends parallel to the predetermined dividing line L from theframe portion 21 to thetear portion 12. In this configuration, it is not necessary to form therib 25 along the frame alongsideportion 12 a or the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12 or in the wall plate shape parallel to the frame alongsideportion 12 a or the protrudingportion 12 c, and as therib 25, both the function of reinforcing theframe portion 21 and the function of limiting the pressing position of thedoor member 20 pressed by the airbag can be realized. - In the embodiment described above, the
frame portion 21 of thedoor member 20 is formed in a quadrangular tube shape, and thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10 is not formed on the back surface of thesubstrate body portion 11 in a quadrangular shape that simply matches the shape of theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20 but is formed in a shape having the protrudingportion 12 c protruding from the frame alongsideportion 12 a in the frame outside direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and the airbag door structure may be astructure 100 as illustrated inFIG. 7 . - That is, in this
airbag door structure 100 of the modified embodiment, the shape of theframe portion 21 of thedoor member 20 may be a tubular shape that matches the shapes of the frame alongsideportion 12 a and the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10. Theframe portion 21 is formed in a tubular shape along the frame alongsideportion 12 a and the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10 and the sides of theshort sides first door portion 22 and the sides of theshort sides second door portion 23 are formed in a shape including corners so as to be along the inner surface the tubular portion of theframe portion 21, that is, to be along the frame alongsideportion 12 a and the protrudingportion 12 c of thetear portion 12 of thebase material 10. - In this modified embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the embodiment described above, and unlike the embodiment described above, it is not necessary to form the
rib 25 on thedoor member 20. - The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment or modified embodiment and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
